test: Add autopkgtest case for unmkinitramfs
Add a test that exercises unmkinitramfs with:
- 0-2 early cpio archives
- 0-2 main cpio archives
- All supported compressors, including none, for the last main archive
and verifies that the output is as expected.

commit 9e37d8b38da71e7a02c9e747fffb833266d9e6e4
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>

Move unmkinitramfs to new initramfs-tools-bin package
Since unmkinitramfs is now native code, it needs to be built as part
of an arch:any package. Introduce initramfs-tools-bin and move it
there.
CI: Remove the variables that disable arch:any builds.

unmkinitramfs: Rewrite in C to make it acceptably fast
Parsing uncompressed cpio archives in this shell script requires
running multiple processes for each archive member.
This was not too bad when there were usually only a few microcode
blobs in an uncompressed archive, but now that we put compressed
kernel modules in an uncompressed archive, it became very slow indeed.
Rewrite it in C so that it's acceptably fast.
This should have no functional changes, except that it adds support
for an initramfs with no compressed part.
Fixes: 81fd41f72dd8 ("Put compressed kernel modules and firmware in an uncompressed cpio")
